Added DiffLines:
* DemonicSpiders: Starting with stage 4, one type of enemy you'll encounter is a high-speed bomber that descends rapidly down the screen and fires a stream of bullets from you. Destroying it will release an item, but if you haven't powered up your weapon, good luck with that.
Added DiffLines:
** Item tokens now circle the middle of the screen instead of just slowly descending to the bottom, forcing you to move up the screen and possibly into danger to power up your ship, change weapons, and replenish your bombs.

* SequelDifficultySpike: This game is much, ''much'' harder than its predecessor ''VideoGame/TigerHeli''. To elaborate:
** Whereas ''Tiger Heli'' has four stages and takes about 15 minutes per loop (assuming no deaths), ''Twin Cobra'' has ''ten'' stage and 45 minutes per loop.
** There is a wider variety of enemies, including helicopers with all manners of movement patterns and high-speed bombers, and this game now features boss fights.
** The screen can now scroll left and right, unlike the original...but this also makes it more likely that an offscreen enemy can snipe you when you least expect it.
** While this game does feature a PowerUp system, you're expected to take full advantage of it as without it, all you have for your main weapon is a weak forward-fire weapon.
